An unidentified suspect is expected to appear in felony bond hearings Wednesday after allegedly running over another man on Sunday.

At approximately 6:30 p.m. Sunday, deputies with the Pope County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to the 5000 block of Old Highway 27 near Hector in reference to a male lying face down in the roadway. Upon arrival, deputies learned a physical disturbance had taken place resulting in one individual being run over.

Deputies believe both parties had consumed alcohol and that was a contributing factor in the disturbance.

One male was arrested and transported to the Pope County Detention Center where he was charged with leaving the scene of an accident involving injury, driving while intoxicated and refusal to submit to chemical testing. Another male was taken by ambulance to Saint Mary’s Regional Medical Center and later flown to a Little Rock hospital.

The investigation is ongoing and no further information can be released at this time. Once the investigation is complete the case file will be turned over to the prosecuting attorney and other charges may be filed.
